Enlightment 17 shines my buntu

Since KISS is my moto i realized that by being a minimalistic maniac. We can see things that aren`t seen before and notice the unnoticeable and think the unthinkable. (Sounds like a typical philosophical rantz?) .

So and here i was wondering i want something simple like fluxbox but quite eyecandish like compiz for gnome/kde. Thus i stumble upon this Windows Manager call Enlightment 17 and it still in development folks no official release yet.

To set this think up in your ubuntu box.. put this line in your /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://edevelop.org/pkg-e/ubuntu gutsy e17
deb-src http://edevelop.org/pkg-e/ubuntu gutsy e17
deb http://e17.dunnewind.net/ubuntu gutsy e17

Next run sudo apt-get update

Then install these whole chunk of package

sudo apt-get install enlightenment enlightenment-dev e17-devel-extras entrance enlightenment-theme* emodule0*

That`s all basiclly. After installation is finish kill your X (Ctrl + Alt + Backspace) and launch you e17 ..

Left click for All menus while right click for launching shortcut apps.

Most of the configuration can be done easily at the Configuration Panel (Left click >Configuration>Configuration Panel) It`s easily understandable. (But due totthe nature i love conky so tend to forgot much bout the Modules)


You can also try all the available modules. Give a snow/flame/rain a try Lol.

Here is my screenshot :p
